I just unsubscribed from an RSS feed of a blog that I frequently enjoy. Why? Because I wanted to make a comment, went to the blog, and discovered that the author had decided to turn off commenting. This strikes me as so antithetical to my conception of what a blog is -- a microcommunity -- that I felt disgusted, and stopped reading.

What would be your term for a "blog" without commentary?

Do you read columnists even though commenting to them can't be done easily?

Not any more. If the platform on which they publish supports commenting, then I expect that to be turned on. Online newspapers generally do.
